Album Notes & Community Reviews

Issued by the esteemed Folkways label, this intimate collection features purely unaccompanied vocal performances of traditional regional material. Meredydd Evans utilizes a resonant, deeply emotive delivery to preserve historical work songs, ballads, and lullabies. The sparse production provides an invaluable ethnomusicological window into Celtic cultural heritage.
